One day, our beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم placed his hand on the head of Bishr b. MuꜤāwiyah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. From that day onwards, this companion could cure the ill by touching them.^[1] The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم touched one of his Companions with his hand, and their body emitted fresh fragrance for the rest of their life!^[2]

Now onto the miracles of his blessed tongue. Whatever the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said became true.

The fourth Caliph of Islam, ꜤAlī bin Abī Ṭālib رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, said, “O Messenger of Allah! I am feeling cold.” The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then prayed by saying, “O Allah! Take heat and cold away from ꜤAlī!” After this, our master ꜤAlī never felt hot or cold again. He wore thick clothes during summer and thin clothes during winter.^[3]

Fast on the 12^th of RabīꜤ al-Awwal

Dear Islamic brothers! Act upon the sunnah of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم by fasting on the day he was born. Remember this is an optional fast, so you should keep it if you can.

A hadith mentions, “Whoever keeps an optional fast with hope of gaining reward, Allah will distance him from Hell by 40 years.”^[4] Another hadith in MuꜤjam al-Kabīr says:

Whoever keeps an optional fast has a tree planted for them in Paradise. Its fruit is smaller than a pomegranate and larger than an apple, and it shall taste as sweet and pleasant as honey. On
